Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in September 2014 at Lower Severalls Farm, Crewkerne, Somerset. Twenty four trenches were excavated. The evaluation was able to identify a number of the geophysical anomalies as ditches, which were likely to be part of a former pre-historic field system. A very small amount of worked flint and a single sherd of prehistoric pottery was recovered from them. A number of the targeted trenches were also unable to identify the indicated anomalies and were archaeologically sterile or the anomalies were found to be geological in origin. In Trench 6 five undated archaeological features were recorded comprising of four ditches, a possible Holloway and a dark spread deposit below the subsoil. One of these features had been indicated in the geophysical survey, but other features recorded within the trench had not been indicated as anomalies and it is possible that they were being masked by the spread deposit |
